Mk2 dash into a Mk1
If you're looking to update the interior of your mk1, probably one of the best ways to do this is to replace the mk1 dashboard with a mk2 unit. Whilst it may seem like a big job, it's actually fairly easy for anyone who can wield a screwdriver and a spanner, to swap the unit....

I had been wanting to cover up the exhaust manifold for a while but I couldnâ€™t get the MX5PARTS one to fit, mainly I suppose because the manifold is not the original one.
Mine that is fitted is a JASMA stainless steel one.
The first picture shows the shield that I cut to try to get it to fit...

Found at Autolinkmx5 it can be used for many reasons , which is a great item to fit for anyone that has a roadster sat around for any length of time unused, it fits to the negative post connection on the battery and once fitted a simple turn off and on of the wheel is all that is needed, it saves...

The how to guide will be split into a number of different guides all using the same T10 501, 5 watt socket for a number of different up grades and fixes on your Mk 1/2/2.5's as indicator or side light, the sockets can be bought from...

But some years back I went to fit a off set number plate holder bracket to a Mk 2.5 with a Mazdaspeed front bottom full lip spoiler, but found that the bracket was too short to be bolted to the tie down eye and not foul the lip/bodywork.

I have two Mk1 1.8's that i've been volunteered to get more power from.
Both are getting some head work. This will be my first mx5 head attempt although I've done others.
I'll give a quick list of what we are planning on doing.

It's an easy swap from the 5-speed to the 6-speed. I have one in my 1.6 mk1 with a 4.3:1 standard viscous diff. You need the gearlever with the 6-speed box, also the NB starter motor (a good swap as it's lighter) and the plate between the engine and gearbox....

Would one of these fit with a strut brace in situ...have a feeling the cone filter would get in the way,or would it be either or?
Also, I see on doing some research I see that there are COLD AIR kits available. Are these the same as induction kits with the cone filter?
Apologies if these are...

On all models from 1989 to 2005 the oil dip stick handle breaks,if it has not yet ...it will simply because of age and heat, and just become brittle, if you get a new one, it will just do the same further down the line..

Jass performance do a very nice alloy upgrade to this issue which fixes to...

Does anybody know where I can pickup the red/white wire from the door switch to illuminate footwell lights?
I'm guessing it's a switched to earth as there is only one wire coming out of the switch.
I'm hoping to pick up a constant live from somewhere behind the radio so that shouldn't be a...

Hi,
Looking for a bit of guidance.
My son has just bought a boot spoiler, so I had to but a new boot lid (so as to leave the original available to switch back).
1.) Is there a right and wrong place / way to fit a spoiler. e.g. no more than 3" form the edge etc.
2.) The new boot came with an...

i'm going to fit a MK2 dash to my MK1 other than the dash , glove box and center console do i also need the instrument cowl and the plastics that surround the indicator stalk or do the mk1 ones fit, cheers.

The cooling fan on the MK 1 has never been the most reliable, it is not very powerful and very often fails, either dead or become weak, a common upgrade is to fit a cooling fan from an Auto as they are bigger and have a more powerful motor , these are not easy to come by and they fail just like the...

Jass is now having an UK Eunos 1.6 limited 93 in a good body condition, an ex-OC car actually.

Long story short though - while doing some initial maintenance, I tried fitting in it, but without much success.
Defoamed the seats to the maximum, but its still very narrow and the reason is the build...

i know that the later style oil pressure gauge is pretty much useless ,is it an easy job to convert to the earlier type gauge if so what is it that you need to change ,i'm guessing i would need a oil pressure sensor the the early car and do you need the actual gauge from the dash.

Hi all, thinking of ordering a decat pipe but on the info bit states only for track or off-road. I didn't think it applied to a 1990 vehicle, please advise. Also, anybody know if the Japspeed pipe is very noisy? Don't really want that. Thanks, have a great Sunday, Mick.
